Jose Bistro - Matina

It's already vacation and I miss chatting with my friend so I invited her to hang out. We decided to have a bucket somewhere and I remember this new food hub. I searched Jose Bar Bistro here in Zomato and their menu is pretty well convincing. We went there late afternoon. It's quiet since there's no other customer that time. There's a family seated near the counter and I think they're the owner (Probably Jose, his wife and their kid. Just a wild guess, haha! They only have one lady crew. She's silent but courteous, I think she's a bit shy. She served us water and the menu politely. Me and my friend decided to have our dinner first since it's already dusk. We ordered Crunchy Sisig Buffalo Wings, the rice was not included. (Please update your menu, thanks! The place is nice and calm. But they only have few seatings for the customers, it's nice to chitchat with your company but with a small tone of voice because you might disturb other people inside (Therefore not that a good place to grab a bucket, haha! . Though, I love the design of their bar counter. The comfort room is located outside but within the building, you will just walk through a hallway and it looks creepy like in the horror films (Too much imagination! Haha! , and you will encounter lots of mosquitoes there, I hope the maintenance of the commercial building could solve it. I like their Crunchy Sisig! And the Buffalo Wings was just too salty. All in all, Jose Bar Bistro is good for a fine dine, their food has favorable servings and affordable. You too must visit the place! : P.S. The photos were grabbed from my friend.

Masarap ang food. Lalo na yung chicken inasal and sisig.. The best dba [558311937:MiCkey] and [100000212486907:Rhaine] :

Nice little restaurant. Food tastes good. Big servings and affordable prices. The only issue that we had was that a lot of the items on their menu were not available.

Waiting time is terrible, same with the steak josé. They need basic restaurant management, crew is lost. Will not go back. Sorry

Feeling a bit down? Feeling like the whole world 's against you and nothing 's going right? Well, feeling ko hindi ka talaga malungkot.... GUTOM KA LANG!! Wahaha! Just kidding, whether you 're gutom or really sad, Jose is the perfect place to eat your feelings away. Their meals will for sure make you happy and fill your hungry tummy (uy that rhymed hehe . Comfort food at its finest! Food: I tried the Creamy Fish, Cheesy Jalapeno and Turon with Cheese. The Creamy Fish indeed lived up to its name. The sauce was creamy, but not the umay kind of creamy. The dory was perfectly cooked and went well together with the sauce. (Ugh, I 'm actually craving right now while writing . The serving size was huge too! All of these for only PHP180???? Sulit! The Cheesy Jalapeno was super yummy too, especially for those who like spicy dishes. Definitely not for the faint hearted (or tongued?? haha may ganun ba?! since it was really spicy, but the (huge amount of cheese balanced out the spiciness. For dessert, I had Turon with Cheese. It wasn 't too sweet and yup, anything with cheese is H E A V E N. Forgot to mention that the prices of these dishes are easy on the pocket considering the quality and service size. Tons of other dishes to try next time (eyeing on that Chicken Parmigiana and Baby Back Ribs!!!! Jose is definitely one of the best restos in the area. Ambiance, Location and Service: It 's located near Marcos Highway in Marikina, use google maps! They also have parking, hehe. Ambience wise, Jose is a perfect place to catch up with friends! They have alcoholic drinks too and at PHP 50 per bottle, it 's actually cheaper than most bars. Good service, they serve the food fast. The waiters and the owner are really friendly too. ;
